The Easter Island Images.

Lieut.. Stone, who secured the prehistoric
stone image from Easter island for the
Smithsonian institution while attached to the
Mohican, stated TO a reporter that the image,
which is now on its way here, is about feet
high, / feet wide and 8 feet thick. 1t is
roughly carved or hewed. A head of another
image was also secured and some of the Off
GERS obtained by purchase other curiosities,
which could not be obtained elsewhere, which
the Smithsonian viii probably take OFF their
hands. The images, he said, are scattered all
over the island, although many of them have
been thrown from their pedestals and broken.
1t was customary for the natives to erect
them over the cemeteries. They would bury
their dead in cells with stone walls ON three
sides and with an inclined wall of earth in the
rear. They would cover over the burial cells
and form top of fagstones to the platform,
on which would be placed from three to q
dozen images overlooking the sea, according
20 the size of the platform.
The images were made from conglomerate
stone in the side of a crater and hewn with
stone axes, and by cutting through a single
stratum the image could be easily separated
from the next stratum and then moved on an
incline and erected The images are of differ
ent sizes, the largest one being about 20 feet
long, but this was never removed and lies in
its bed in the side of the crater where the
work was commenced. The statue secured
by the Mohican was found about two miles
from the shore. 1t took about eighty men
two days TO bring it down on rollers. Lieut..
Stone said tie present inhabitants know
nothing about the images or the fresco deco
rations, of the houses, but they intuitively
bury their dead in close proximity &, these
yts.utes.-N ashiuGton Star.

LIVED THREE LIVES.

Louis Y lived three lives, separated from
one another by convulsions. These fits COW
cred the changes from one personality to an
other; and there was change of personality,
for the whole character was radically altered.
Thus in one state the patient was morose,
suspicious dishonest, while in another he was
frank, cheerful, amiable and upright Similar
phenomena were observed in the case of Fee
linda X, though her popularity is that the
somnambulic state has become the normal or
prevalent one, while what was the normal
state is the occasional one. As this change
has improved her character much, it is not to
be regretted. In all insane asylums cas- are
found of loss or exchange Of PERSONAL nd
often the insanity consists almost w!lu-.y in
such an exchange.
The revelations of science, however. are
approaching point which bears directly on
alienism. Hereafter it may be necessary to
realize that the substitution Of one person
atty for another does not demonstrate mad
ness, but possible psychical disease as suS-
ceptible of cure as many bodily ailments.
Hypnotism is the key with which these mys-
teries of multiplex personality are being W.
locked slowly, and while as yet the mode Of
operation is not perceived it is established that
the influence, magnetic or otherwise, does
take hold Of these peculiar psychical con-
ditions and modifies them benefcially.

CURIOUS PHENOMENA.
SEVERAL VERY REMARKABLE CASES
OF "MULTlPLEx PERSONALITY"

An Extremely Perplexins Case-TEe
Three Lives of Louis v-The Theory Of
Obsession.The "Watseka Wonder"
An Obscure Subject.
A dispatch from Norristown, Pa, gives an
account of a curious case which has come to
light there, and which, IL the circumstances
IRE as stated, probably belongs to q class
which has been growing for some years with
rather disquieting speed. Some two months
ago a stranger came to Norristown, rented a
store. stocked it and began business. There
was nothing in bis conduct or bearing to at
tract attention, and he lived with perfect
quietness until one evening a neighbor was
startled by the appearance of the newcomer
in bewildered state, asking where he was.
Then be declared that he knew nothing of his
sojourn in Norristown; that he was Rhode
Island clergyman; that two months ago he
left his home on some business, drew some
money out CT the bank and then lost recollec-
ton until he found himself in the Pennsyl-
vania town. Not many years ago story
like this would have been secuted save by
few students in advance of the time. Now,
thanks chiefly to the investigations of French
medical science it is generally known that what
Mr. Alfred Myers happily terms 'multiplex
personality" is a genuine though extremely
perplexing phenomenon. Drs. Charcot, Richer,
Azam, Ribot, Noisin, Camuset, ETC., have for
number of years studied this class of cases, and
in the records of the now historical ones of Eel
ida X and Louis V are to be found all and
more than all the peculiarities of the case Of
Ansel Bourne.

The Indiana Sepstorshlp.

The Indiana Republicans have taken an
unusual method to attempt to hold the
seat In the United States Senate to which
Judge Turpie has Just been chosen by two
majority. The speaker Of the House being
Republican and the president of the
Senate . Democrat, when the two Houses
met In joint convention to chose q senator.
each announced the result the Republi-
can speaker declaring that no election had
been had, and the Democratic president
declaring that Turpie had been chosen.
The ground Of the Republican speakers
decision was, we believe, that majority
Of lawful votes had not been cast for
Turpie but as they were all votes which
had been received during the prolonged
contest, it was manifestly impossible to
reject them on the final vote.
The action Of the speaker of the House
seems very silly, but it is followed up by
the Republican members of the House and
part Of the Republican senators, who have
continued to meet in convention, for the
purpose Of declaring that Turpie has been
elected by fraudulent vote, aud to appoint
q committee to persuade the United States
Senate to reject him. AS that body has q
Republican majority they may have a
chance to profit from their seeming child 5
play.
